20 Years
And looking up, and feeling vacant
And sighing as the world turns grey, and stepping out
And seeing nothing, and rolling into our fake past
In 20 years I can see us both in a bigger world
Bright and full of promise
In 20 years we'll mean something
And people will stop us in the street
Asking just how we came to be
In twenty years they'll all know
Just how far we've come
You hold your breath, try not to shout
Praying for reprieve, a way to let it out
Desperately searching, his vision in blue
He sees everything in you
Faint recollection venom strains of tension from a voice above
A holy mother keeping us all cheerful and sedated, trained domesticated on leash
Begging, learning how to crawl
Sitting next to you, sitting miles apart
The difference it is still unknown to me
If this is it, if it's time to quit I hope to god that I will leave some proof of all our failure
Of all our hope, and of everything that means something to me
And sighing as the world turns grey, and stepping out
And seeing nothing, and rolling into our fake past
In 20 years I can see us both in a bigger world
Bright and full of promise
In 20 years we'll mean something
And people will stop us in the street
Asking just how we came to be
In twenty years they'll all know
Just how far we've come
You hold your breath, try not to shout
Praying for reprieve, a way to let it out
Desperately searching, his vision in blue
He sees everything in you
Faint recollection venom strains of tension from a voice above
A holy mother keeping us all cheerful and sedated, trained domesticated on leash
Begging, learning how to crawl
Sitting next to you, sitting miles apart
The difference it is still unknown to me
If this is it, if it's time to quit I hope to god that I will leave some proof of all our failure
Of all our hope, and of everything that means something to me
